前卫艺术介入社会的形式、路径及其限度

Forms, Approaches and Limitation of Avant-garde Art’s Intervention in Society

"前卫"概念用于艺术,具有政治前卫与审美前卫的双重意涵,某种程度上,这恰好对应于前卫艺术介入社会的两种路径:一是扬弃艺术自律,依照某种政治理念与党派立场直接介入社会;二是坚守艺术自律,通过保持与社会的疏离间接介入社会。前卫艺术介入社会的观念与路径内蕴着难以调和的矛盾性,这一内在悖论既构成了前卫艺术真正介入社会的难度,也决定了其介入社会效果的限度。

The concept of "the avant-garde" has both political and aesthetic connotation when applied to arts, which, to some degree, corresponds to its two approaches of intervening in society. It either abandons artistic autonomy and directly intervenes in society based on certain political ideas and party positions, or, it adheres to artistic autonomy and intervenes indirectly in society by maintaining a distance from society. There are thus irreconcilable contradictions between ideas and approaches of the avant-garde when it intervenes in society. This internal paradox makes it difficult for avant-garde art to truly intervene in society, and it also determines the efficacy of its intervention.
